Lake Quinault Lodge

The Lake Quinault Lodge is located within the Olympic National Park, a bit inland from the coast. It is situated in the Quinault temperate rainforest about half-way between Forks and Aberdeen.

The Lodge is a good base for day-trips to ocean beaches and other Olympic National Park sites. Forks WA is a bit more than an hour to the north. You'll reach the Hoh Rainforest by traveling 45 minutes north and then another 45 minutes inland. Port Angeles is about 2.5 hours north.

Head south for an hour to get to Aberdeen and Hoquiam. From there you can visit Ocean Shores, Westport and Grayland around 45 minutes to the west of Aberdeen on the Pacific Ocean. Or continue south for another 1.5 hours to Long Beach, Ocean Park, Leadbetter Point State Park, or Cape Disappointment State Park.

Of course, those travel times are estimates. There is so much to see that stops along the way may be inevitable.

The area right around Lake Quinault offers many outdoor adventures, including hiking,
swimming, boating, river-rafting, guided rainforest tours, guided boat tours, a
sunset cruise aboard the Lady of the Lake and more.

If your travel bug has been satisfied, relax and swim in the
indoor heated pool and sauna, or enjoy board games or ping pong in the game
room. Take an evening glass of wine or morning cup of java in the lobby while sitting by a huge crackling fire in the
grand brick fireplace. Nothing like quiet time for finding answers to the deeper questions of life. Or choosing what you'd like for breakfast!

What could be more perfect? If mountain lakes nestled among trees is your thing then this will be the perfect place for a relaxing retreat.

Quinault Lodge History

Funded by lumberman Ralph Emerson of Hoquiam, WA, and designed by
Seattle architect Robert Reamer who also designed the Old Faithful Inn in
Yellowstone National Park, the Lake Quinault Lodge was built in 1926, in just
53 days. The Lodge sold in 1939, and then closed during World War II. After the war, the Walker family reopened
and operated the Lodge.

In 1988, the Aramark Corporation purchased,
and currently operates the Lodge. 10 years later in 1998, the Lake Quinault Lodge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Lodge still maintains all the charm of the grand National Park
lodges built during the era.

Roosevelt Dining Room

The Roosevelt Dining Room enjoys panoramic lake views, comfortable seating and an excellent menu.
Reservations are recommended. The establishment was so named in the years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1937 visit to the area.
